The house is thatched, but not in the English village style. Most of the construction is concrete and bamboo. The floor and main walls are concrete, but the walls are not high- I find I have to duck a lot. The interior walls and rafters are bamboo, as is most of the furniture. It is all nicely done. And very comfortable.
There is electricity and lights, but also a television and, incongruously a 6500W sterio. On full blast it would undoubtedly shake the whole building.
But tonight the entertainment boxes are off. A few gather for prayer, partly because there is a funeral in the village. Since the meeting is in Tagalog, I understand little of what is said, but the pastor directs prayer subjects for each person present. Everyone takes part, which is always encouraging.
All too soon the meeting is over and we "bike" home. For the fist time since being here I feel a chill due to the wind.
